The important thing in darshan is not 'what to do', but 'how to be'. Darshan cannot be given, but it may be 'drawn' from the source by the receiver, by tuning in to this superconsicous vibration. The breathing space of an enlightened being is like an extension of his physical body. It is a live healing energy-field. When we are completely available and receptive in such an energy-field, we don't need a technique to catch a glimpse of the same state. Even without much effort from our side, our bio-memory 'learns' the expression of enlightenment.
During darshan, many people have visions, healing experiences, intense spiritual experiences, and the direct experience of causeless bliss. In many others, deep-seated unconscious fears, guilt, and desires rise to the surface. Some people just go into intense silence. Others feel overwhelmed with tears. All these are equally wonderful happenings, because they mean that the darshan is working on you. During darshan, your being comes alive and celebrates with the energy wave of Existence. The mind subsides for a while. The whole scene of the darshan becomes a deep imprint in your consciousness.
